Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"I would like the solution to be more secure and compatible. It also needs to improve integration with other systems.""The stability could be better. There are sometimes bugs in the system.""Pulse Connect Secure could improve by having better integration with NAC solutions, such as Cisco ClearPass integration with Pulse Connect Secure. Additionally, they need better integration with Microsoft Azure AD and Azure Authenticator.""The product could use additional dashboards.""The solution can be improved by addressing the failure to connect on public 2-step networks.""Connection-wise, Pulse Connect Secure could be faster, and this is its area for improvement.""The product's price is an area where improvements are required.""Setup is complex. A few users had some issues with it."

More Ivanti Connect Secure Cons →

"I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful.""If I were to be nitpicky, I would ask that Perimeter 81 offer the option for us to change the color of the graphical user interface, like maybe pink or green or so on.""In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality.""Its initial setup process is complex for a hybrid environment.""It would be nice to have a notification sound when Perimeter81 disconnects, as I sometimes don't notice when the icon shows that it's disconnected, and I end up wasting time waiting for my browser to load a page that shows an error, usually error 404.""There are a few areas where the solution could be improved. For instance, we sometimes encounter connectivity issues, which can be problematic. Recently, I experienced a connectivity issue while trying to move to Azure. Connectivity issues can be quite frustrating.""In the future, maybe P81 can improve the network traffic balancing and redundancy.""What would be useful would be a notification/warning that a session is due to timeout after exceeding the default connection limit."
